Sound Off

I agree with the caller from Hazel Park about Kwame Kilpatrick belonging in prison because he was found guilty of perjury and he didnít just steal money from Detroit; he took money from Michigan taxpayers.

ó Royal OakThe thing to remember when you vote is do you want Sharia law or U.S. law? Our sons and daughters are fighting to keep an American flag over the White House. Remember that.

-- Hazel Park I am glad this country has its own Supreme Court. Its justices are confirmed by the Senate, instead of being elected, as the Michigan Supreme Court is. That is the way it has been for more than 200 years.

-- Royal Oak What no one in the Royal Oak administration will tell you is that the proposed millage to fund emergency services for police and firefighters will get dumped into their pension plans and union contracts. That money wonít improve the situation in Royal Oak; it just will make union members a bit richer. We already have half a dozen or so people in the police department who have retired and make more than $100,000 a year in pensions. How many taxpayers a year out there are making $100,000 on their pensions? I would say almost none.

-- Royal Oak I keep seeing calls in Sound Off objecting to the fact that Mitt Romney would have let General Motors go bankrupt. I have news for these people: GM did go bankrupt. The people that own stock or bonds in GM and the Delphi retirees who were involved in this on the salaried end of the business can testify to the fact that GM did indeed go bankrupt because they got almost nothing for all their years of hard work andtheir investments.
